yeah well 100 is better than 1000$ if i would have bought everthing new and the turtles..... but im pretty happy. darn im sorry to hear they are both males since they both seem to be trying to rape each i figured that, im also guessing this is the source of most of the behavior issues. i figured i would have to rid myself of one of the turtles, it will probably be the large one since he is just overly aggressive and can catch fish and forage(he like to dig in the dirt, get dirty, get a mouth full then dive in the tank, make a [----] cloud evertime very annoying) probably let him into the wild south of where i am (so southern ohio)
lol no they didnt eat the plants i removed them simply because they werent what i wanted to put in there, just filler, im gonna do some other plants soon but im unsure what kind, but i did add sand and made a few changes to the tank today. got to find another rock for the tunnel added some more brick and another basking area.
if i do get have to get rid of a turtle, can i get another one, my girl is gonna be a big baby about it but i already told this would be more than likely the recommended case.
lol but this hobby is pretty fun i should be getting a ahold of a 175 gal tank for free in the next week and i plan on fixing all the seals, and setting that up with an above tank basking area in addition but thats my pet project as the funds are not there yet.
oh and yes that is a humongous crack. fixed with single pane glass and right now i thing about 10lbs of sand 4 bricks 2 turtles and 20 gal of water are sitting on top of it
